Greetings Covians,
As you may well have noticed it's that time of year again where the RP community and UO as a whole slows down a bit with people starting or returning to school, college or university as well as the summer's influx of new and returning players dwindling too.
Unfortunately these happenings and other inconveniences such as computer problems and work commitments affect most people, including the Command Team too.
We are only human after all... *shifty eyes*
However, fear not! Cove will endure.
That said, every Covian must do his or her duty!
Trials & Tasks.Delferium and Celuvian
(yes we haven't forgotten about you Haap ) have their Watchman Trials to complete. Help them where you can as they may have helped you by attending your events.
Apprentice & Squad Tasks.Most Grenadiers have had a task set. The rest will follow soon. Although these tasks are optional, they do work towards your advancement as well as upholding the Grenadier Brotherhood. So hup hup, lest you incur the Baron's displeasure.
The same goes for Apprentice tasks. Again they are optional but they help to get you involved whilst knocking off promotional requirements too. Regular Guardsmen and above can take on apprentices to tutor so if you haven't got one or you are looking for someone to mentor you please post <a href="

Juniors & Regulars.Recruits and Watchmen will now look to you for guidance. Display your leadership by hosting events to keep the lower ranks busy and to help them progress as you have done. Don't forget without other people hosting events for you to participate in or attending events to help you gain promotion and complete your trials, you wouldn't be where you are now.
It's not all about being saluted and being able to order folk about.
It's time to give a little back gentlemen.
Recruits & Watchmen.You too can run your own events. While we don't want you going off and invading Trinsic, there's nothing wrong with the lower ranks showing initiative and leading hunts, patrols and sentries etc.
Civilians.There's always something fun on the citizen task board to be done.
You can also try and hawk your wares around the Baronship or offer you services to the guardsmen. Remember to keep a look out for roaming orcs and petty thieves though.
What sort of events can I run?
There's a whole list of events <a href="
http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/topic,6943.0.html>here [/url] that can be carried out. Don't forget if you are alone you can place banners or do some lone patrolling. Though if you send out some pigeons to get your fellow Covians in game, much more can be achieved.
Let's get cracking lads 'n' lasses. And most of all let's have some fun.
If you are active post your character name and pigeon number below for quick reference. Don't forget a full list of BoC contacts can be found <a href="

Keep on Covin'.
Raiden.
